Siddhis Vedas

Lord Krishna showed Uddhava the place where Svayambhuva Manu performed austerities. He explained how the eight mystical perfections stay there, embodied in the guise of young women.

Later Lord Krishna showed the city of Vedanagara in Jambudwipa, where the Vedas manifested themselves in their personified form. There the goddess Sarasvati, relentlessly praising the Lord, holding the book and sitar. All the apsaras living there are trying satisfy the Vedas with their dancing. I myself (Narada) along with Tumbura and other gandharvas sing the glories of the Lord there. Eighteen talas, seven swaras and three gramas appeared there in their personified forms. Thus, all kinds of musical ragas and their spouses-raginis are manifested there in their personified forms. Ragas, raginis and the personified Vedas offered eloquent prayers to Krishna

Nanda and Yasoda


At Brindavan, Nanda and Yashoda welcome him, with a smiling face, but with emptiness in their heart, because they miss Krishna.  Uddhava was fed and let to rest.

Yashoda Ma starts, ‘Uddhava, I switched off this stove the day Krishna left for Mathura. It has never been switched on since!  Whenever I switched it on, Krishna ran around me asking for milk.  The joy is simply inexplicable Uddhava! ’

‘This is the mortar in which I bound Krishna.  This is the rope I used…. This is the dress I got him for Diwali last year…. Even when he slept, he wouldn’t let  go of his flute.. see now he has left that back too… What is he doing in Mathura?  Is he still grazing cattle?’

Nanda Baba interjected, ‘Are you mad? Why would he graze cattle when he has had his education?  He must be a king now!’

Uddhava is spellbound by their love for Krishna.
